CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Miss Fanny v.
Baldwin, claiming to be the niece OF
millionaire Lucky Baldwin, of Cal
ifornia, has been locked up at the
Harrison street Station for the past
several days, it being presumed from
her eccentric conduct and talk that
she is insane. Yesterday DIR. Moore,
one of the city physicians, after a long
and rigid examination, gave it as his
opinion that she is insane. She is
now held awaiting the action of the
court of an insane institution. DR..
Bemis, with whose family Miss Bald
win formerly resided, also called upon
the young lady, and pronounced the
opinion that Miss Baldwin is not in
sane, but simply eccentric. She is a
handsome young woman, about 23 or
25 years OF age, tall and slender. She
is very voluble, and it is while in her
talking moods that she betrays her
eccentricities.
